    In our Bibles, we have four Gospels describing Jesus’s time on earth: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The land of Israel—the place Jesus walked and taught during His earthly ministry—is often referred to as the “fifth Gospel.” Follow Kristi McLelland through Israel as we study snapshots from the Gospel of Luke to see where the stories of the Bible took place. Over 7 sessions in this Bible study workbook, challenge the way you read the accounts of Jesus through teaching videos that take you to locations in Israel like Bethlehem, the Sea of Galilee, Gethsemane, Jerusalem, and the road to Emmaus. Along the way, you'll see how Jesus, the Messiah, brought His kingdom to earth for everybody.

    Come walk with the Israelites through the desert and witness God's faithfulness. As you dive into Exodus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, you will witness God's deliverance of His people from slavery, see His revelation at Sinai, and His provision through their wilderness wandering that prepared them to enter the Promised Land. Over 7 sessions, you'll see how God's presence with Israel in the wilderness is relevant to your life today and challenges you to live with an active faith, experience deliverance from strongholds, conquer your wilderness living, and claim your God-given inheritance.

    In this study you will learn how to identify your wiring and the wiring of others; how your wiring affects the words you say and hear; which words you need to hear to be the best version of you; and which words you can say to bring out the best in others. After taking an assessment, you’ll learn a simple framework that will instantly improve your communication. And you’ll see how advice from the apostle Paul thousands of years ago may have held the secret all along.

This series will equip you to become an everyday evangelist – someone who boldly and naturally shines the light of the gospel into any and every conversation you have with neighbors, classmates, coworkers, family members, and even complete strangers, all by overflowing the truth and love of Christ as you go.

    Heaven. Who goes there? Where is it? What will we do there? Questions like these arise when we consider an eternal future beyond this physical life. How can we know the truth about what comes next? In this video-based study, Jennifer Rothschild explores the subject of Heaven from a biblical perspective. We will separate what’s true about Heaven from what’s based on legend, media depictions, and hopeful guesses. As you walk through the study, you'll not only gain a deeper understanding of what God has prepared for His children but also learn how to live with confidence today as you look forward to the glorious unending that awaits. Don't just wonder about Heaven—embrace it with a faith that turns anticipation into excitement and peace.

    God’s grace is greater than your biggest setback! God enacts His perfect plan through imperfect people. In this Bible study by Max Lucado, you will see how God used Jacob – the misbehaving patriarch who was strong on savvy but weak on conscience – simply because God chose to use Jacob. His story invites us to believe in a God who sticks with the unworthy until we are safely home. God turns brokenness into blessings through His grace, mercy, and relentless love. Not just for Bible characters, but for you. God never gives up on you!
